A Good Bye
Wave
Wave away the salt ridden distress
Your breath slides down the sinking pit within you
A quicksand of hungering wants
Fangs bared, coarse tongue whipping out
No mothers breast
Only your unclaimed breath
A veil
Mountainous
Your lungs, in your chest, near your heat, thump, you feel it
A sea of pressure
Unrelenting, wave after wave battering this virgin shore
White buds wilt
Red heart shrivels, a raisin
The shrinking shadow
Waves
